Are you looking for a system that not only works, but actively transforms your production culture?
You don’t want half-measures — you want a platform that truly covers every aspect of your production?
Then your upgrade starts here — in the mindset of your team, the clarity of your processes, and the measurable results that follow.
- Assembly of components
- Management of serial numbers
- Packaging according to packaging instructions
- Management of bills of materials (BOMs)
You rely on assembly instructions, checklists, and variant info to somehow reach the right place?
You want to eliminate errors, misunderstandings, and incorrect assemblies once and for all?
Then you need a system that delivers centralized information with one click and provides a clear structure for the entire process.
-
Digital Work Instructions: Assembly guides, inspection plans, and checklists are provided digitally and in real time at the workstation. This ensures that employees always have the correct information regarding the product, variant, and work sequence.
-
Material Supply and Consumption: Capture material consumption and generate material supply lists directly from the bill of materials (BOM).
-
Traceability: Record serial numbers of components to enable full traceability of the assembled unit.
- Packaging: Final products are packaged according to predefined packaging instructions.
- Maintenance orders for tools
- Shot tracking (if required)
- Recording of defects/images via mobile app
- Scheduling and planning of maintenance tasks
Are tools and equipment not ready when you need them?
Are errors from the previous shift going unnoticed until they show up again during production?
Is there no complete record of performed maintenance actions?
Schertech thinks ahead – when it comes to availability, configuration, and maintenance.
-
Tool and Equipment Management: Structured recording, classification, and linking of tools to operations, parts, production orders, and product variants. Tools can be assigned with technical specifications, lifetime limits, and maintenance intervals.
-
Usage Monitoring and Availability Check: Before starting a production step, the system automatically checks whether the required tool is available, properly configured, and approved for use—preventing the use of worn or incorrect tools.
-
Maintenance, Calibration, and Lifetime Control: Schertech MES supports preventive maintenance by automatically notifying about upcoming maintenance, calibration, or replacement cycles - based on usage data such as part counts or operating hours.
- Definition of TPM actions
- Triggering of maintenance activities
- Visualization of results
- Display of images and reference documents
Do your preventive measures often get lost in daily operations, leading to costly downtimes?
Are your actions recorded on paper checklists that are difficult or time-consuming to analyze?
Is your TPM process not running smoothly yet?
With Schertech, TPM becomes a living culture.
Predictive Maintenance:
As a core component of lean management, this module is fully integrated into the system.
Maintenance KPIs are available at the push of a button. Downtimes, including cause and duration, are automatically recorded.
Standard KPIs can be easily extended and provide precise insights for targeted improvements.
Total Productive Maintenance:
Active involvement of all employees in maintenance processes. Planned maintenance activities (e.g., daily inspections, lubrication, cleaning) are documented in the system and supported by checklists or instructions. The MES captures employee feedback and machine status to drive continuous improvement (CIP).
- Integration of sensors
- Interfaces to controllers
- Documentation of process changes
- Checklists for process monitoring
You want continuous collection, analysis, and control of machine, process, and production data without delay?
You want your employees to document changes to process data or machine settings?
With Schertech, you immediately know where action is needed.
Real-Time Data Collection and Visualization
- Continuous collection of machine and process data such as temperature, pressure, torque, or cycle times.
- Data sources can include sensors, controllers (PLC), IoT devices, or directly connected machines.
- Live status and deviations are visually displayed on intuitive dashboards and cockpits, e.g., using traffic light logic or trend curves.
- Process control via checklists.
- Recording of process changes.
Analysis and Optimization
- Historical process data is available for evaluations, correlations, and root cause analyses.
- Process improvements (e.g. adjusting parameters, maintenance intervals, work instructions) can be derived directly.
- Identification of waste
- Continuous improvement (CIP) at the shop floor
- Regular communication on the shop floor
- Visualization and establishment of KPIs
You want order and cleanliness to be a top priority?
You want to implement or further develop Lean Management?
You are searching for solutions to support this process?
With Schertech, Lean succeeds - step by step, integrated into daily routines.
Order and Cleanliness with 5S
- Define 5S measures and attach images and documents
- Track completion and visualize results
Daily Shopfloor Meetings
- Dashboards with KPIs (e.g. OEE, scrap rates, downtimes) and open actions
- Early detection of waste (e.g., waiting times, overproduction, rework)
- KPI-driven production
Continuous Improvement / Kaizen (See also dedicated module)
- Capture improvement suggestions based on disruptions
- Closed-loop process for continuous improvement (CIP)
- Excel-free documentation of the entire CIP process
- KPIs for the status of all CIP activities displayed right where the work happens (Gemba principle)
- Cross-departmental communication
- Tracking of actions
- Escalation to other departments
- Inclusion of indirect areas
You communicate with other departments via email or WhatsApp?
You are unsure if tasks assigned to other departments have actually been completed?
Workplace issues cannot be directly assigned to the responsible teams?
Then the communication platform is exactly what you need.
Communication via ShiftVisu
- ShiftVisu is the module for communicating all occurring issues with all relevant departments across the company.
- Facilitates horizontal and vertical exchange across departments and organizational levels.
- Employees at the machine can communicate directly with management.
Interdepartmental Communication
- The chat function promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between production, quality, logistics, planning, purchasing, and maintenance.
- Transparent communication significantly reduces information loss during shift changes or handovers.
- The platform replaces inefficient phone calls and email loops with fast, structured communication within the system context.
Chat Function
- Employees can chat directly with each other regarding disturbances and actions.
- Progress status and missing information can be specifically queried during these conversations.
- Integration of CIP at the shop floor
- Systematic approach for on-site CIP activities
- A3 reports for more extensive improvements
- Visualization through key performance indicators (KPIs)
You want to develop your employees further?
You are frustrated by persistent repetition errors?
You want to see continuous progress every day?
This is how you move your area forward step by step.
On-site CIP
Employees can document improvement suggestions directly in the system following predefined steps. The 5W method supports root cause analysis.
Action Tracking
Immediate actions, corrective measures, and standardizations are recorded and tracked. Progress, responsibilities, and deadlines are transparent — status updates are automated.
Success Measurement
Built-in KPIs demonstrate the effectiveness of the process.
Data-Driven Analysis of Weaknesses
Based on real incidents, e.g. through shopfloor dialogues, PDCA cycles, or root cause analyses (5W or Ishikawa), sustainable improvements are derived.
